Welcome to the 4 Paws Society!
The 4 Paws Society is committed to providing hope and love for abandoned animals. We specialize in all-breed dog rescue. We are located in SW Louisiana.
Despite the commitment of animal control/shelter workers to the animals in their care, over 5 million animals are being killed in shelters in the USA each year. We encourage Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana residents to adopt an abandoned animal rather than buy.
The question is simple, Why buy while shelter dogs die?
Jameson's Happy Tail!
Jameson was rescued from the Calcasieu Parish Animal Control. He is a great lab guy that found his home in Yankee Country with the Daunis family. We are so happy for Jameson and wish he and the Daunis family many years together.
Frannie!
As you can see by these photos, when this dog first came to 4 Paws, she was in very poor condition.
We simply called her "She Dog." As she recovered, we held a "naming" contest to help pay her vet bills. "Frannie" has come a long way! You can appreciate her progress even more on a video clip on our Facebook page. We are currently looking for someone to foster Frannie as she continues her road to recovery.
